INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack Range
1. Remove shipping materials, tape and protective film from 
range. Keep cardboard bottom under range. Remove oven 
racks and parts package from inside oven.
2. To place range on it’s back, take 4 cardboard corners from 
the carton. Stack one cardboard corner on top of another. 
Repeat with the other 2 corners. Place them lengthwise on 
the floor behind the range to support the range when it is laid 
on its back. Using 2 or more people, firmly grasp the range 
and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard corners.
3. Pull cardboard bottom firmly to remove.
4. Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the leveling legs. Adjust 
the leveling legs to the correct height. Leveling legs can be 
loosened to add up to a maximum of 1" (2.5 cm). A minimum 
of 
³⁄₁₆" (5.0 mm) is needed to engage the anti-tip bracket.
5. Place cardboard or hardboard in front of range. Using 2 or 
more people, stand range back up onto cardboard or 
hardboard.
Install Anti-Tip Bracket
Contact a qualified floor covering installer for the best procedure 
for drilling mounting holes through your type of floor covering.
Before moving range, slide range onto shipping base, cardboard 
or hardboard.
1. Remove template from the anti-tip bracket kit (found inside 
the oven cavity) or from the back of this manual.
2. Place template on the floor in cabinet opening so that the left 
edge is against cabinet and top edge is against rear wall, 
molding or cabinet.
3. Tape template into place.
4. If countertop is not flush with cabinet opening edge, align 
template with overhang.
If cabinet opening is wider than that specified in the “Location 
Requirements” section, adjust template so range will be 
centered in cabinet opening.
5. To mount anti-tip bracket to wood floor, drill two 
¹⁄₈" (3.2 mm) 
holes at the positions marked on the bracket template. 
Remove template from floor.
To mount anti-tip bracket to concrete or ceramic floor, use a 
³⁄₁₆" (4.8 mm) masonry drill bit to drill 2 holes at the positions 
marked on the bracket template. Remove template from floor.
6. Tap plastic anchors into holes with a hammer.
7. Align anti-tip bracket holes with holes in floor. Fasten anti-tip 
bracket with screws provided.
Depending on the thickness of your flooring, longer screws 
may be necessary to anchor the bracket to the subfloor. 
Longer screws are available from your local hardware store.
8. Move range close enough to opening to allow for final 
electrical connection. Remove shipping base, cardboard or 
hardboard from under range. 
9. Move range into its final location making sure rear leveling leg 
slides into anti-tip bracket.
